CONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSTexas has four constitutional limits on spending: the “pay-as-you-go,” or balanced budget limit; the limit on the rate of growth of appropriations from certain state taxes; the limit on welfare spending; and the limit on debt service. The 2012–13 biennial budget is within all of these limits.

THE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITArticle III, Section 49a, of the Texas Constitution sets out the “pay-as-you-go” limit. It requires that bills making appropriations be sent to the Comp-troller of Public Accounts (CPA) for certifi cation that appropriations are within available revenue. In summer 2011, the Comptroller certifi ed that the 2012–13 General Appropriations Act and other appropriations bills were in compliance with the “pay-as-you-go” limit. The CPA estimated that revenue will exceed spending from General Revenue Funds and General Revenue–Dedicated Funds for the 2012–13 biennium by approximately $186.4 million.

LIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS Article VIII, Section 22, of the Texas Constitution limits the biennial rate of growth of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution to the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy. On November 15, 2010, the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) established the following elements of the Article VIII spending limit: the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy, the level of 2010–11 biennial appropria-tions from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Texas Constitution, and the resulting 2012–13 biennial limit. The LBB instructed its staff to ad-just the level of 2010–11 biennial appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution and the resulting 2012–13 biennial spending limit calculation to refl ect subsequent appropriations certifi ed by CPA and offi cial revenue estimate revisions by CPA.

Actions taken in 2011 by the Eighty-second Legislature affected the 2010–11 biennial level of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Texas Constitution. After adjusting for these actions and revenue estimate revisions by the CPA, the adjusted 2012–13 biennial limit on appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Con-stitution is $77.3 billion. Appropriations for the 2012–13 biennium from state taxes not dedicated by the Constitution are estimated to be $70.4 billion, $6.9 billion less than the amount of authorized appropriations. The remainder of the state’s $173.5 billion budget is funded with nontax revenue and constitutionally dedicated tax revenue not subject to the Article VIII limit.

WELFARE SPENDING LIMITArticle III, Section 51-a, of the Texas Constitution provides that the amount that may be paid out of state funds for assistance grants to or on behalf of needy dependent children and their caretakers (i.e., Temporary

TEXAS FACT BOOK SPENDING 37

SPENDING

Assistance for Needy Families [TANF]) shall not exceed 1 percent of the state budget in any biennium. The total state budget as adopted in House Bill 1 (as modifi ed by other legislation), by the Eighty-second Legislature, is $173.5 billion. Accordingly, the 1 percent welfare spending limit is $1.7 billion. The total amount of state funds appropriated for TANF grants is $134.7 million, which is $1,600.1 million less than the 1 percent limit.

DEBT LIMITArticle III, Section 49(j) of the Texas Constitution limits the authorization of additional state debt if in any fi scal year the resulting annual debt service payable from the unrestricted General Revenue Fund—which excludes revenues constitutionally dedicated for purposes other than payment of state debt—exceeds 5 percent of the average annual unre-stricted General Revenue Funds for the previous three years. To monitor the constitutional limit, the Bond Review Board (BRB) calculates two debt ratios. The fi rst debt ratio is the debt service on outstanding (issued) debt as a percentage of unrestricted General Revenue Funds, and for the end of fi scal year 2011, the issued debt calculation is 1.35 percent, which is a slight decrease from the fi scal year 2010 calculation of 1.36 percent. The second debt ratio is the debt service on outstanding debt, plus estimated debt service for authorized but unissued debt as a percentage of unre-stricted General Revenue Funds. For this second ratio, at the end of fi scal year 2011, BRB determined that the state is at 3.70 percent of General Revenue Funds, refl ecting a decrease from the fi scal year 2010 calcula-tion of 4.10 percent.

Any signifi cant change in any of the following three components will af-fect the constitutional debt limit: (1) the amount of General Obligation (GO) debt authorized by voters; (2) the three-year average of unrestricted General Revenue Funds; and (3) interest rates on issued GO bond debt. The fi scal year 2011 debt limit ratio for issued and authorized but unis-sued debt decreased by 40 basis points from fi scal year 2010. This ratio decrease is partially due to increased unrestricted General Revenue Funds in fi scal year 2011, which resulted in a higher three-year average of available funds. The decrease is also partially the result of GO debt issuances in excess of $1.0 billion by the Texas Department of Transpor-tation for highway construction and by the Texas Public Finance Authority for cancer research. When these bonds were issued, it resulted in lower interest rates than previously estimated, thus lowering the amount of debt service required.

STATE INDEBTEDNESSTexas continues to have a low state debt burden compared with other states, ranking last among the 10 most-populous states in state debt per capita in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The U.S. Census Bureau further indicates Texas’ per capita debt burden was $1,228 in 2009 while the U.S. average was $3,404.

Texas had approximately $36.2 billion in state bonds outstanding as of August 31, 2011. This total refl ects debt outstanding by state agencies, excluding approximately $4.3 billion in revenue conduit issuances. In a conduit issuance, the issuer (the state) issues on behalf of a third-party borrower whose project generally has a public benefi t, such as a hous-ing project. When a state agency issues as a conduit issuer it has no legal obligation to repay the bond because the bond is backed by the third-party borrower’s credit or funds. General Obligation (GO) bonds, which depend on the General Revenue Fund for debt service, account for an estimated 34.7 percent of the total bonds outstanding. Non-GO, or revenue, bonds comprise the remaining 65.3 percent. Approximately 72.8 percent of the outstanding GO bond indebtedness is designed to be self-supporting, although the full faith and credit of the state is pledged for its payment.

Debt service costs included in the state budget for the 2012–13 bien-nium total $3,265.5 million, or 1.9 percent of total appropriations. The increase in debt service costs from the 2010–11 biennial level is $530.6 million, or 19.4 percent, and is primarily due to increases in debt service requirement out of the State Highway Fund for highway improvements and water projects. Included in the debt service costs are approximately $24.9 million in General Revenue Funds to the Texas Public Finance Au-thority for debt service related to $600 million in GO bond proceeds for cancer prevention and research initiatives, and $132.4 million for court-house preservation grants, deferred maintenance, and critical repair capital projects; approximately $129.4 million in General Revenue Funds to the Texas Department of Transportation for debt service related to $4 billion in GO bond proceeds for highway construction; and approximately $14.9 million in General Revenue Funds to the Texas Water Development Board for debt service on $300 million in GO bond proceeds for the Wa-ter Infrastructure Fund and the Economically Distressed Areas Program water programs. Additionally, the Eighty-second Legislature, Regular Ses-sion, 2011, appropriated the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston $11 million in General Revenue Funds (House Bill 4), for the reimbursement of debt service for an amount not to exceed $150 million in Tuition Revenue Bonds authorized by House Bill 51, Eighty-fi rst Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, for the recovery and reconstruction of UTMB.

Debt service appropriations include a biennial increase of $78.4 million in General Revenue–Dedicated Funds, primarily due to the enactment of Senate Bill 1, Eighty-second Legislature, First Called Session, 2011, related to the use of certain Tobacco Settlement funds for debt service for cancer prevention and research bonds on existing and future issuances.

TEXAS FACT BOOK SUMMARY OF STATE FUNCTIONAL AREAS 51

SUMMARY OF STATE FUNCTIONAL AREAS

2012–13 BIENNIAL FUNDING HIGHLIGHTSAppropriations for the 2012–13 biennium of $4.5 billion decreased from the 2010–11 biennium by $557.3 million, or 11.1 percent, in All Funds. This decrease is primarily related to the elimination of one-time funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for Fiscal Programs – Comptroller of Public Accounts, and reductions to various grant programs at the Trusteed Programs within the Offi ce of the Governor.

Appropriations for state employee group insurance benefi ts total $2.7 billion and, in addition state agencies and institutions of higher education participat-ing in the Group Benefi ts Program are required to contribute an amount equal to 1.0 percent of their total base wages and salaries for each benefi ts-eligible employee to help fund group health insurance, estimated to generate an ad-ditional $160 million contribution toward group insurance.

The state contribution for employees’ retirement is 6.0 percent in fi scal year 2012 and 6.5 percent in fi scal year 2013 as compared to 6.95 percent each fi scal year of the 2010–11 biennium. Contributions from state employees will remain at 6.5 percent during the 2012–13 biennium.
